Cask, handpump at The Nut Tree, Murcott, Oxon 10-01-10 Pours almost gold in colour maybe light amber but with a white head. In many respects this isn’t so very different from the Caudle bitter but for all the wrong reasons. I just tended to find this quite thin and lacking in flavour, the beer itself tasted fine, lightly bitter with some hops (but not much showing) reasonably refreshing and clean, and dry at the end. In fact it leant towards a lagery taste at times but I wonder whether this was because it was served a tad too cold looked gold and lacked a bit of flavour. It’s ok A6 A3 F5 P3 Ov11 2.8

Hand pulled cask at the Wetherspoons in Market Harborough, Leicestershire. Amber/gold with a lively off white head. A competently brewed bitter with clean sweet malts and moderately bitter, floral english hops. Decent.

Cask. The High Cross (JDW), Leicester. Gold body, white head. Suphur, hop, malt, citric, spice, peppery. Bittersweet. Dry finish.

Cask handpull, Bridge 61, Foxton Locks. Orange amber, fine white rim. Lemon meringue, sherbet and flowers aroma with a rub of ganja leafiness. Sherbety with lemon zest hints, wheaty lemon puff afters. Caramel soft and biscuity, but with good bright hops. Quietly impressive.

Cask (handpump) at the Great British Beer Festival Day 2, August 2009. Attractive clear gold colour. Clean & dry. Some citric hops. Pleasant enough. Another middle of the road Golden ale. It’s hard to say that without sounding critical but when a big festival like GBBF chooses to order huge numbers of very similar beers it is a bit tough to maintain unbridled enthusiasm.

Cask @ GBBF 09, Great British Beer Festival, Earls Court Exhibition Centre, London, England.
Clear medium orange color with a small, fizzy, fair lacing, mostly diminishing, off-white head. Aroma is light moderate malty, caramel, toffee, overriped apples. Flavor is moderate sweet and light to light moderate bitter with a average duration. Body is light medium, texture is oily, carbonation is flat. [20090805]

Cask Handpump at the GBBF, Earl’s Court 05/08/2009 Some hop aroma. Golden coloured and fruity with a little bitterness and earthy notes in a crisp malt finish.

Clear golden. Dry citric to the nose. Fruity taste with a decent bitter twist. Dry palate and thin textured (Gravicask, sample at GBBF 05.08.2009).

Cask at GBBF 09 ... golden ... musty earthy hop nose ... soft fruit dry hop ...

Bottle conditioned, 500ml from Bellingers Garage, Grove, Oxon. Clouded orange gold with no head. For a second I thought this bottle was infected, but no it was just flat & lifeless. Sweetish, malty with a toffee caramel note. Dull.
